Warragul Race 8

Simon Benson Memorial Final

Prize Money: $7,325

BLAZING TURBO (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 26.00. The hardest to beat again. CONTRADICTION (6) scorched around 460m in 25.68 when winning a Grade 5 H at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. ASTON LORENZ (3) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (25.69) at this track in a Grade 5 H. Lines up from box 3 for the first time. Solid record at the distance winning two races. The form from his last run stacks up well. Must be included in calculations. SECRET JOKER (2) will have admirers again after placing at this track and distance last time out.
